I'm shocked you're questioning his loyalty to Man Utd, I thought it was abundantly clear who he was supporting in the final even if he has admitted he'd accept a different result provided football is the winner.
I'm not sure Giggs would have the legs for the game if I am honest but hey they get paid for their experience so they could be right. Im thinking Tevez would be better just for his work rate against a team like Barca, you don't want to end up chasing them shadows all night
Good call - but Giggs should be more rigid in the formation, I would be concerned about Tevez being pulled all over the place
(possibly unfair but potential for that to happen)
I don't see Tevez starting, I'd be surprised if Berbatov started. You never know with Ferguson, just when you have a team picked in your head, he throws in a different choice. I think Giggs has to start in central midfield alongside Carrick and Anderson to give us a good blend. Park on the right, Rooney on the left, Ronaldo just ahead of the midfield roaming anywhere he wishes.
Coverage has started on SS1, watching it on HD on a 40" Sony Bravia
Those of you who have to watch it on ITV, I feel for you
Am watching on SS1 but ITV coverage isn't really all that bad on a 42" Samsung TV
That's the team i posted and i agree with you, pretty certain it's going to be the line up.
Can't wait for this match, my bets again!
£5 united to win 3-0 = £145
£5 united to win 4-1 = £335
£6 United to win 3-1 =£126
£2 Rooney to score first = £16
£18 put down if one of my scorelines comes off I'm up
Rooney to score first is just a bit of fun.I find ITV looks worse on a LCD/PLASMA in contrast to an old CRT.
You wouldn't mind losing the CL final
Hey Gustov!
You know sometimes, when you're team loses a game of football, and you walk away thinking "they played some really good football, they deserved to win"
Barcelona play amazing football, Manchester United are my second team and while I do love Manchester United, I wouldn't be as annoyed at losing tonight against Barcelona.
It wouldn't just be a victory for Barcelona tonight, but for football.
I find that too, for some reason every football match I watch on ITV looks absolutely dreadful on my plasma. Its SKY for me all the way.

Very good odds imo even with the attacking quality both teams have.I've got Vidic down as first goal scorer, 25/1.
Wouldn't be unfair to compare their quality to a poor bitrate Internet stream.
Yeah I thought it was too good to pass up on, with a makeshift defence Barcelona could really be exposed at corners, and we all know how aggressive Vidic can be in the air.
Playing Giggs in the middle would be mental IMO, I don't think he'd be able to keep the pressure on Iniesta and Xavi all game like someone like Fletcher (I know) would.
Surely there's other options?
Not really no - with Hargreaves out and as you know Fletcher banned, its either Scholes or Giggs really (or a youngster)
Unless you do something mental like put Brown in as RB after one game at the weekend after basically the whole season injured and OShea in the middle with Carrick and Anderson
